Imagine your best salesperson never gets tired, doesn't drink coffee, and is available 24/7 without asking for a raise. Sounds like science fiction, right? But in today's world, artificial intelligence (AI) is doing just that: revolutionizing the way companies approach sales and customer service.
In a business environment where efficiency and personalization are key, the implementation of artificial intelligence (AI) agents in sales and customer service processes has become an essential strategy for B2B companies.
These agents not only automate repetitive tasks, but also offer personalized interactions that can match, and even surpass, the capabilities of a human salesperson in certain respects.
AI as a strategic complement in sales
Far from replacing the sales team, AI agents act as assistants that boost their performance. According to a Harvard Business Review study, AI assistants are transforming sales by helping salespeople compose personalized emails, respond to requests for proposals and follow up to advance opportunities, allowing them to focus on nurturing the relationship and closing deals.

Tangible impact on productivity and conversion
The implementation of AI in sales has demonstrated concrete results. For example, a study published in arXiv revealed that access to AI assistance increased the productivity of customer support agents by 15% on average, with significant improvements in speed and quality of service.
In addition, the adoption of AI in sales teams has led to revenue growth. According to Forbes, 83% of sales teams using AI are seeing a 3% to 15% increase in revenue and a 10% to 20% increase in sales.
